Invasive quagga and zebra mussels present a significant risk to US Bureau of Reclamation operations and infrastructure. They have the potential to disrupt USBR operations and to cause damage to infrastructure leading to expensive repairs. A number of initiatives are currently underway at Reclamation to look at invasive mussels, including their spread, their economic impact, and potential methods for control in Reclamation infrastructure and open water environments. A centralized resource for accessing scientific literature and reports on invasive mussels will serve as a resource for these and other projects.
